          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Comparar os resultados maternos e perinatais de pacientes portadoras de placenta prévia, após adoção do internamento materno prolongado, com os de uma série histórica ocorrida em 1991. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo comparando 108 casos da doença - em pacientes hospitalizadas em uma instituição de ensino do estado do Ceará, nordeste do Brasil, no período de primeiro de janeiro de 2006 a 31 de dezembro de 2010 - com 101 casos ocorridos em 1991, na mesma instituição. Os seguintes dados maternos e perinatais foram coletados: idade materna, paridade, idade gestacional no momento do parto, via de parto, tempo de internamento materno, escores de Apgar ao primeiro e quinto minutos, peso ao nascimento, adequação do peso ao nascer, tempo de hospitalização neonatal, morbidade materna e neonatal e mortalidades (materna, fetal, neonatal e perinatal). As variáveis categóricas foram analisadas utilizando-se os testes do χ² de associação e exato de Fischer. Os resultados foram considerados significativos quando p<0,05. RESULTADOS: Em 1991, 1,1% dos casos (101/8.900) apresentou placenta prévia. No presente estudo, a prevalência foi de 0,4% (108/24.726). Nenhuma morte materna foi observada nas duas séries. Em relação às pacientes de 1991, as da série atual foram significativamente mais jovens, com menor paridade e ficaram mais tempo internadas. Para os resultados perinatais observaram-se melhores índices de Apgar ao primeiro e quinto minutos, maior tempo de internamento neonatal e redução das mortalidades fetal, neonatal e perinatal. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados perinatais, em pacientes com placenta prévia, foram significativamente melhorados entre o ano de 1991 e os anos de 2006 e 2010. Não podemos afirmar, entretanto, ter sido esta melhora necessariamente decorrente do maior tempo de internamento materno.

          PURPOSE: To compare the maternal and perinatal outcomes of patients with placenta previa, after the adoption of a prolonged maternal hospital stay, to those of a 1991 series. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study comparing 108 cases of placenta previa hospitalized in the Maternity School Assis Chateaubriand, Universidade Federal do Ceará, during the period from 01/01/2006 to 12/31/2010, with those obtained in 1991, when 101 cases of the pathology were observed at our institution. The following maternal and perinatal data were collected: maternal age, parity, gestational age at delivery, mode of delivery, maternal stay length, Apgar scores at the 1st and 5th minutes, birth weight, adequacy of birth weight, neonatal length stay, maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality rates (maternal, fetal, neonatal and perinatal). Statistical analysis was performed using the χ² and Fisher's exact tests. The results were considered significant when p<0.05. RESULTS: In 1991, placenta previa was found in 1.13% of cases (101/8900). In the present study, the prevalence was 0.43% (108/24726). No maternal death was observed in either series. Regarding the study of 1991, the current patients were significantly younger, with lower parity, were hospitalized longer, had better Apgar scores at 1st and 5th minutes, and had longer neonatal hospitalization. Also, we identified reduction of fetal, neonatal and perinatal mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Perinatal outcomes in patients with placenta previa were significantly improved between 1991 and the years 2006 and 2010. However, we can not say whether this improvement was due to the prolonged maternal hospital stay.

          Placenta previa and the risk of preterm delivery.

          We aimed to quantify the risk of preterm delivery and maternal and neonatal morbidities associated with placenta previa. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of singleton births that occurred between 1976 and 2001, examining outcomes including preterm delivery and perinatal complications. Multivariate logistic regression was used to control for potential confounders. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were constructed to compare preterm delivery in pregnancies complicated by previa vs. no previa. Among the 38 540 women, 230 women had previas (0.6%). Compared to controls, pregnancies with previa were significantly associated with preterm delivery prior to 28 weeks (3.5% vs. 1.3%; p = 0.003), 32 weeks (11.7% vs. 2.5%; p < 0.001), and 34 weeks (16.1% vs. 3.0%; p < 0.001) of gestation. Patients with previa were more likely to be diagnosed with postpartum hemorrhage (59.7% vs. 17.3%; p < 0.001) and to receive a blood transfusion (11.8% vs. 1.1%; p < 0.001). Survival curves demonstrate the risk of preterm delivery at each week and showed an overall higher rate of preterm delivery for patients with a placenta previa. Placenta previa is associated with maternal and neonatal complications, including preterm delivery and postpartum hemorrhage. These specific outcomes can be used to counsel women with previa.

            Transvaginal ultrasonography for all placentas that appear to be low-lying or over the internal cervical os.

            The purpose of this study was to determine in what percentage of cases the assessment of placental localization using transabdominal sonography (TAS) was changed after transvaginal sonography (TVS) was applied. TVS was prospectively performed on all pregnant women of at least 15 weeks' gestation, when the placental edge using TAS appeared to be over or within 2 cm (low-lying) of the internal cervical os. The time required for the TVS scan and the distance of the placental edge from the internal cervical os were recorded. Of the 168 patients entered into the study, 131 were analyzed. Landmarks were poorly seen in 50% of the cases when using TAS. In 66 cases, the placenta appeared low or possibly over the internal cervical os using TAS, but a definitive diagnosis could not be made due to suboptimal visualization. In the remaining 65 cases, visualization of the internal os and placental edge was possible using both TAS and TVS. In this group, there was a change in the diagnosis in 26% of the cases after TVS was performed. Our results suggest that optimal visualization of the placental edge and internal cervical os is usually difficult with TAS when the placenta appears low-lying or over the internal cervical os. The assessment of placental localization was changed in over one-quarter of cases (26%) after transvaginal sonography was performed. The use of transvaginal ultrasound should be seriously considered when the placenta appears to be low or over the internal cervical os by transabdominal ultrasound.

              ACOG Committee opinion. Number 266, January 2002 : placenta accreta.

              (2001)
              The incidence of placenta accreta has increased 10-fold in the past 50 years and now occurs with a frequency of 1 per 2,500 deliveries. Women who have had two or more cesarean deliveries with anterior or central placenta previa have nearly a 40% risk of developing placenta accreta. If the diagnosis or strong suspicion of placenta accreta is formed before delivery, the patient should be counseled about the likelihood of hysterectomy and blood transfusion. Blood products and clotting factors should be available. Cell saver technology should be considered if available as well as the appropriate location and timing for delivery to allow access to adequate surgical personnel and equipment. A preoperative anesthesia assessment should be obtained.
